Mixing in Capture

Creating a Mix
Please Note: Just like you cannot record both the Main Mix and Analog Inputs 15 and
16, you cannot playback audio from Tracks 15 and 16 in Capture and record the Main
Mix at the same time. Because of this, if you plan on doing a mixdown in Capture, it
is recommended that you do not record any material from Inputs 15 and 16.
Software: Universal Control, SL Remote, Capture, and Studio One Artist 7
To Loop the playback of any range of a Capture
session, do one of the following:
Select an Event with the Arrow Tool, or select
•
a Range with the Range Tool, that you wish
to loop. Press [P] on the keyboard to set the
loop range to your selection. The range will
be indicated by a bar drawn in the timeline,
with a left and right flag on either end.
• Mouse over the gray line above the time line.
You will notice that your curser changes to a
pencil tool and you can draw your loop range.
Once your loop range is set, you can click on the
Loop button in the Transport, or press [L] or [/]
on the keyboard to engage Loop mode. Start
playback before the end of the Loop range, and
when the end of the range is reached, playback
will jump back to the beginning of the Loop range
automatically for as long as Loop is engaged.
Engaging Record in the Transport will disable Loop mode
and begin recording at the current playback cursor position.
It is not possible to engage Loop while recording.
Mixing is the part of the production process where all
recorded tracks are combined to mono or stereo. The goal
is to balance relative volume, frequency, and dynamic
content in order to achieve a desired cohesive sound.
Mixing with Capture and StudioLive
No mixing is done in Capture directly. Instead, the individual outputs
of each audio track in Capture are hardwired to the FireWire returns for
each corresponding input channel on the StudioLive mixer. Thus, with
the FireWire returns engaged for each input channel on your StudioLive
mixer, the output of your multitrack Capture Session is routed to the
StudioLive mixer, where it can be mixed just like any other audio input.
The process of creating a mix with Capture and the StudioLive
mixer is quite simple. You play back your recorded tracks through
the StudioLive and record the main output of the StudioLive
using the Flexible Input (Track 15 and 16 in Capture).
